Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked salmon, flaked (fresh or canned)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Salmon Mixture: Start by flaking the cooked salmon into a large bowl, removing any large bones or skin pieces. Add finely chopped onion and fresh parsley for fresh zest. Drizzle lemon juice and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural) to layer in tangy, savory notes.
- Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and natural gelling agent to help your patties hold together without falling apart when frying. This also adds a subtle crunch.
- Mix Everything Together: Crack the egg into the salmon mixture and gradually fold in the dry ingredients. Stir gently until the mixture forms a soft dough, ready to shape.
- Form the Patties: Using your hands, shape the mixture into evenly sized patties about the size of your palm for consistent cooking.
- Fry to Perfection: Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Gently place patties in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. The aroma will fill your kitchen, making them irresistible.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked salmon for a lighter texture, though canned salmon works well too.
- Mix ingredients only until just combined to avoid tough patties.
- Cook over medium heat to maintain crispiness without burning.
- Chill patties for 15 minutes before frying to help them hold their shape.
- Fry one patty first to test seasoning and texture before cooking the rest.
